When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Danehill
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
FAQs for Danehill
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Danehill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

When to call us in Danehill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Danehill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Danehill. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Danehill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
